JOHN A. MENDEZ, District Judge.
The United States of America, through its counsel, Assistant U. S. Attorney Katherine Lydon, and defendant, Ismael Maya-Pizano, through Assistant Federal Defender, Noa E. Oren, stipulate that the status conference, currently scheduled for August 2, 2016, be continued to August 23, 2016 at 9:15 a.m.
Defense counsel requires additional time to receive and review records with Mr. Pizano.
Based upon the foregoing, the parties agree time under the Speedy Trial Act should be excluded from this order's date through and including August 23, 2016; pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §3161 (h)(7)(A)and (B)(iv)[reasonable time to prepare] and General Order 479, Local Code T4 based upon continuity of counsel and defense preparation.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, the Court, having received, read, and considered the parties' stipulation, and good cause appearing therefrom, adopts the parties' stipulation in its entirety as its order. The Court specifically finds the failure to grant a continuance in this case would deny counsel reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. The Court finds the ends of justice are served by granting the requested continuance and outweigh the best interests of the public and defendant in a speedy trial.
The Court orders the time from the date the parties stipulated, up to and including August 23, 2016, shall be excluded from computation of time within which the trial of this case must be commenced under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) and(B)(iv) [reasonable time for counsel to prepare] and General Order 479, (Local Code T4). It is further ordered the August 2, 2016 status conference shall be continued until August 23, 2016, at 9:15 a.m.
